Let's say you get stuck and need to access your recovery gear. It's now buried in the sand..... Or, let's say you want to pull it out and help someone but it's in the wet mud... I don't know if I would keep critical recovery gear under the truck. I have seen people put their chains in there...

A company sells a spare tire water tank. 4Runner and Tacoma 6 Gallon "Spare" Tire Water/Fuel Tank

Yes, UCAs will fix your caster angle.

The factory service manual has two types of greases listed. One for u-joints and one for the slip yoke. Without getting under the truck to check the driveshaft you have no idea what is causing the clunk. And, if no conclusion can be made, then removing the driveshaft is the only way to...

Mikein, I have the same issue with my front camera. It is mirrored and both Kenwood and crutchfield could not help me. The irony is the kenwood head unit recommended the kenwood cam! I am thinking of putting the front cam under the truck facing back at my front diff so I can tell if I get...

I have a front camera using a kenwood excelon head unit and its absolutely useless. Don't waste your time. The lighting is horrible, the sunsets don't work, and night wheeling is a no go. I can't see any reason to ever put one on again. I'm using a kenwood camera front and rear and kenwood dash...

Front Runner and Smittybuilt both make Jerry can holders that can bolt onto your bumper. They aren't specific to molle. I don't think there are real "molle" specific holders. That would be a custom job.

Upgrade your stock control arms. Cheaper than wearing out tires. SPC, JBA, there are many options that help bring your alignment numbers back in.

14.8 volts! Do some of these trucks actually see that? With my scangauge II while idling or driving it his 14.0 volts and I don't think I've seen higher. With the car off my battery sits at 12.8 volts when it's dark. During the day I have a 100 watt solar panel trickle charging the battery.

No one has mentioned it yet. The main factor in fluid degradation is heat. Toyota FSM says it wants the transmission around 175°F. If you put bigger tires, offroad lights in front of the radiator, a winch in front of the radiator and other things (like me) then the fluid gets hotter. So if...

Without seeing the spindle used and some other design considerations, no one will be able to safely answer your question. You need to ask the manufacturer what the total load is allowed on the swing out. That being said, even the most venerable bumper manufacturers can have failures due to...

Have you repaired or modified anything recently? Wiring issues don't usually happen at random. Do you have rats under your hood at any time?

Your Body EDC and Skid Control ECU also run of that 10A Dome Fuse. You could have a short there too. I'm not sure if all cars come pre-wired ready for courtesy lights. I think only Limited gets those.

Prado 90 series? You mean the GX460? The only way to check for sure is to look up the part number using both vin numbers.

Has the truck ever been in an accident? How old is the power steering pump? Same for innner and outer tie rods? Is the steering rack original? Are the upper and lower ball joints OEM? How old? Lot's of potential items on the front end to check.
